Sprinklers and Lawn Tractor....?

I have a system composed of RB 5000 Plus rotors. My lawn is big enough that i need a lawn tractor to get it done. My question is, will running over the heads ruin them. I try to avoid them when possible, but sometimes when i space off i do run them over. Any input from you guys greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So long as they are installed properly, and level with the grade, you should be alright running them over. We run them over quite a bit with our mowers and never seem to have a problem with them. It is the heads that are installed to high above the grade that are a problem. I wouldn't worry about trying to avoid them all that much.
